Great biscuits - easy to make. I used fresh chives and 1 % milk and they turned out fine. I love that there is no kneading the dough - just drop.

Made these biscuits to accompany a soup last night and they were terrific. I halved the recipe and it worked just fine. Thanks for a great recipe. This is the first time I have made biscuits and was very pleased with the outcome.

Great biscuits! How good are these? Made them two days running .. by request! I don't know who enjoyed them more the hungry teenager, hubby or myself. The 2 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons of baking powder made for a light and flaky biscuit. The cheddar cheese and the dried chives made for great taste. Can't wait to share this recipe with family and friends. Thank you mydesigirl for a recipe that is sure to become a family favorite.
